Abstract
A security mounting pole apparatus comprising a pipe having an outer surface and an inner surface defining a longitudinal bore therethrough, the pipe having a first end and an opposite second end, and one or more reinforcing members disposed in the longitudinal bore of the pipe.
Claims14
A security mounting pole apparatus for suspending a projector/display device from a mounting structure, comprising:
- a pipe having an outer surface and an inner surface defining a longitudinal bore therethrough, the pipe having a first end and an opposite second end, wherein first and second external threads are formed adjacent each of the first and second ends of the pipe, respectively and wherein the first end is adapted to be mounted on the projector/display device and the second end is adapted to be fixed to the mounting structure;
- one or more reinforcing members disposed in the longitudinal bore of the pipe;
- and
- a first internal end cap and a second internal end cap disposed between the one or more reinforcing members and the first end and the second end of the pipe, respectively, the first and second internal end caps cooperating with the pipe in retaining the one or more reinforcing members within the bore, whereby cutting of the pipe and theft of the projector/display device is deterred.
A security mounting pole apparatus for suspending a projector/display device from a mounting structure, comprising:
- a pipe having an outer surface and an inner surface defining a longitudinal bore therethrough, the pipe having an annular cross-section with a first end and an opposite second end, the pipe being formed on the outer surface with first external threads substantially at the first end and with second external threads substantially at the second end, wherein the first end is adapted to be mounted on the projector/display device and the second end is adapted to be fixed to the mounting structure;
- three reinforcing members welded to the inner surface of the pipe substantially one-hundred-twenty degrees apart about the annular inner surface, whereby cutting of the pipe is deterred;
- and
- substantially continuous first and second internal end caps disposed between the reinforcing members and the first and second ends of the pipe, respectively, in substantially abutting relationship to the inner surface of the pipe, the first and second internal end caps cooperating with the pipe in completely retaining the three reinforcing members within the bore while not interfering with the first and second external threads of the pipe.
A security mounting pole apparatus for suspending a projector/display device from a mounting structure, comprising:
- A pipe having an outer surface and an inner surface defining a longitudinal bore therethrough, the pipe having a first end and an opposite second end, the pipe further having first and second external threads formed in the outer surface adjacent each of the first and second ends of the pipe, respectively;
- one or more reinforcing members disposed in the longitudinal bore of the pipe;
- and
- a first internal end cap and a second internal end cap disposed between the one or more reinforcing members and the first end and the second end of the pipe, respectively, the first and second internal end caps cooperating with the pipe in retaining the one or more reinforcing members within the bore, wherein:
- the mounting structure is configured with a suspension plate configured to threadably receive the first external threads of the pipe;
- and
- the projector/display device is configured with a display device mount configured to threadably receive the second external threads of the pipe, whereby cutting of the pipe and theft of the projector/display device is deterred.
